  • Apple may be cutting contractors in an effort to slash costs

    Jasong1101Jasong1101
    I literally brought this up in the article praising Tim Cook for not laying off.  Apple has always used contract labor.  They even give retail employees career experiences at corporate, with the carrot being dangled that they could move to Corp and better pay and life work balance.  Apple gets to pay cheaper employee for 6-12 months and the employee goes back to retail without the Corp gig.  I don’t think either one is a problem really if the company didn’t have so much cash like Apple does.  Pay people more, hire more, make health insurance free, stop inflating your stock price by buying back stock.  Apple is not perfect at all.  They just sell a ton of products.  The experience working there and shopping there has gone down every year Tim took over.

  • How Apple avoided Big Tech's mass layoffs

    Sorry didn’t mean to repost that.  I was just going to say I don’t think there is anything ethically wrong with it.  I’m just saying that’s why they don’t have layoffs.  Had they hired full time people instead they would have layoffs just like anyone else

    Contractors.  Report on that.  They use a ton over the years instead of hiring full time employees.

    Always remember that 'Genius' you think is doing such a great job repairing your computer, so much better than a third-party repair shop could possibly do, is actually working for about $13/hour.  Apple does not pay store employees a living wage.
    No one makes 13 hour anymore.

  • Apple employees threaten to quit as company takes hard line stance on remote work

    The majority of employees are not in top secret design work.  They do not need to work at the office to get their jobs done.  This idea that you need to be at work all the time and not balance life and family is very American.  Steve Jobs worked all the time and had to get a book written while dying of cancer so his kids could understand why he wasn’t around.  Great culture to instill.  The pandemic has shown that work can happen remotely.  You are either in the group who likes being at home with your family and friends  and still be productive at work or the group who hates being around family and friends and need to be in an office.
